"people are still worried about connection charges"
Don't count on that for too long. Over here, the web didn't take off on a massive scale with broadband, but with the introduction of flat rate subscriptions. Mobile web flatrates are a reality already. Next, carriers might compete on price for their flat rates. At some point, connections charges might become a non-issue.
- apathy 19y agoMy wife's iPhone has free unlimited data, not-free text and mobile-to-land-phone minutes. Guess how she harasses me to pick up our daughter or buy specific groceries? FWIW, I've rarely seen such a brilliantly executed electronic device in my life. I thought it was outrageously overpriced -- now I'm wondering if it isn't a halfway decent deal for the interface and capabilities of the thing. I continue to carry the cheapest Motorola piece of shit that will accept my SIM card, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't envy the iPhone.
